Summary

The school is part of the Cleveland Heights-University Heights City School District, which is ranked 541 out of 828 districts in Ohio and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Roxboro Middle School consistently performs below the state average in most subject areas, with only 8.9% of 8th-grade students proficient or better in Mathematics in 2024-2025, compared to the state average of 47.6%. However, the school performs better in certain subjects, such as Geometry and Algebra I, where 69.4% and 75% of students, respectively, were proficient or better in 2024-2025, outperforming the state averages. The school's performance in English Language Arts is relatively stronger, with 58.7% of 6th-grade students and 50.3% of 7th-grade students proficient or better in 2024-2025. Roxboro Middle School's performance is generally lower than that of nearby schools, such as Beachwood Middle School and Cuyahoga Hts Middle School, which are both highly ranked and perform significantly better academically.

The significant performance gaps between different student subgroups at Roxboro Middle School suggest that the school may need to address issues of equity and provide more targeted support for underperforming groups. The school's high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 35.5% to 39.5% over the past few years, is also a concern and may be contributing to the lower academic performance. Addressing the root causes of absenteeism could be a focus area for improvement, as well as targeted interventions and support in Mathematics, particularly in the upper grades.
